Leslie Chellew

Clinical Social Worker/Therapist, LCSW

Therapy works best when it’s tailored to you. Every journey is unique, and I strive to create a space where you are seen, understood, and supported. Whether you’re facing pressure, overwhelm, low mood, relationship struggles, grief, substance use, or life changes, my goal is to help you find balance and clarity at a pace that feels right. Together, we’ll explore your experiences and work to build resilience, helping you feel more grounded and like yourself again.

Becoming a therapist has been a dream of mine since long before I earned my Master’s of Social Work at Temple University in Philadelphia, PA. I’ve worked with individuals and families in a variety of settings and later trained in EMDR to support people recovering from trauma.

My path wasn’t straightforward, and it took time to find my footing. Because of that, along with my training and personal inner work, I strive to meet clients with understanding and without judgment. I’m deeply grateful for the opportunity to connect, listen, and hold space for people as they navigate their own lives. Helping others heal, grow, and build a life that feels more aligned with what matters most to them is what motivates me every day.

How We’ll Work Together

I take a flexible, client-centered approach, blending evidence-based practices with modalities that fit your needs. Some of the approaches I draw from include:
  • EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)
  • ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy)
  • MI (Motivational Interviewing)
  • CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy)
  • BA (Behavioral Activation)
  • IFS (Internal Family Systems)
Sessions are structured but flexible — more like a guided conversation than anything clinical. Together, we’ll explore your thoughts and feelings, focus on what matters most, and work toward meaningful change. Each session is supportive, safe, and designed to help you leave feeling a little clearer and more grounded.

Areas of Focus

I provide compassionate therapy for adults navigating a variety of life challenges, including:
  • Anxiety & Stress
  • Depression & Low Mood
  • Life Changes & Transitions
  • Relationships & Social Connections
  • Substance Use & Addictive Behaviors
  • Grief & Loss
  • Trauma & PTSD

Your journey to healing is unique. Let’s navigate it together.
